Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ami tilted his head back again, this time to look for the source of a woman's voice. He was immediately struck by the brightness of Megumi's eyes, and the soft darkness that ran through her tresses. Human, with a touch of something else. Some kind of old magic, he guessed.
Ami smirked to himself, pocketing his lighter with one hand as he slipped the cigarette between his fingers with the other.
"Must be." He replied smoothly, and returned the cig to his mouth, head still cocked backwards to watch Megumi.

Ami cracked his neck to one side, then the other, popping it. He flicked the cigarette onto the dirt and grounded it out with his shoe, then turned his attention back to Megumi.
"So. What's your story." He said disinterestedly. They were always the same. No one understands me, my parents won't let me do this, I can't do that, blah blah blah. Then he'd babysit the kid for a couple years, they'd grow up, and he'd move on. Like an imaginary friend for the immortality impaired. It was a thankless job, but, well, he didn't have much choice in the matter.
Ami unconsciously traced a finger along the edge of the collar fastened around his neck as he waited for Megumi's reply, his poison green eyes focused upon her face.

"Fun, ne?" Ami raised one eyebrow and broke into a wide, mischevious smile. "I think we can manage that."
Finally! Five decades of watching over mortals and never once did one think to take advanage of having their very own personal guardian. And now, after so long, maybe this girl would be different. Break up the monotony, even if it would be just for a short eleven years.
Ami's grin grew until his unnaturally sharp teeth became exposed to the moonlight, causing them to glisten comically. "Well sunshine, with such a bright outlook on life you can't go wrong."

((Ack, sorry I didn't post for a few days...couldn't get access to a computer ><))

She heard his offer and for a moment, her eyes flickered downwards towards his hand, those pale eyes squinting slightly as she considered. For an elf, he seemed friendly enough, and she of all people knew better than to judge people based solely on their racial background. After all, wasn’t it just such discrimination that had put her in this mess? Biting her lip with a tiny, almost inaudible sigh, she accepted his hand with a silent not, an indication that she would accept his help. “Thanks…” She murmured quietly, her gaze returning to the ground, where it stayed this time.

"The Godess sent you? To watch over me?" Megumi repeated in surprise. "Lol, I never thought I needed someone to watch over me. Does this mean I'm important to her for some reason? Cuz if this is out of pity, you may return and tell Her I don't need pity. I can do just fine on my own, I know how to fight and how to take care of myself. I've done so for the past couple of years and I can continue doing it until I die. I think so anyway." The flow of words never seemed to stop coming from Megumi's mouth, as if she hadn't the time to breathe.

"Phe.." Megumi protested. "Just know I'll kick your a** if you even think of pitying me." Megumi pushed herself up from the wall and took a few steps forwars.

"So yeah, as my guardian, you have to follow me around don't you?" Megumi said with a mischievous smile, before running off into the dark.

Ryoga walked along the streets of of the town, his arm bleeding from the attack of Renegades. "******** renegades, killing my whole crew. If only PFC. Howe had listened to orders." He fell to the ground from lose of blood. "Damn, now I can't even move." He looked around for anyone who could help, but saw no one. "Can some one help me!" He shouted as he fell into an unconcious state.
